In 2016, SB 1736/HB2033 was passed in the Tennessee legislature. The bill was an attempt to hold businesses that chose to ban defensive firearms from their premises responsible for damages. That was a step to far for the Tennessee legislature. The bill was cut back to say that businesses that did not ban firearms would be immune from lawsuit for actions that resulted from their lack of a ban. In Missouri, Representative Schroer has introduced a bill, HB 96, that is very similar to the original HB 2033 in Tennessee. From news-leader.com: The proposal, known as House Bill 96,...

Friday, December 09, 2016 Immigration Can Kill the Democrat Party Posted by Daniel Greenfield The specter of identity politics is haunting the left. It shows up at teary-eyed election parties in Berkeley, debates over craft beers in Williamsburg and the editorial pages of the big opinion shaper papers. No less an icon of the left than Bernie Sanders has been grumbling that his movement needs to reconnect with working people again. He even tentatively denounced identity politics. “It is not good enough for somebody to say, ‘I’m a woman, vote for me.’” Bernie bears a grudge. That’s obvious. But the...

Video: A homeless woman has released a video stating that she is a “Squatter” living in Trump Tower for the past nine years. She claims that when Mr. Trump found out about her he said she could stay for free. He also makes sure that she gets three meals a day, and a delivery of fresh flowers once a week.

Here’s a pattern you can expect to see more of in the future: Donald Trump says something. Media/Democrats decry his comment as a) untrue b) indiscreet c) unpresidential d) all of the above Facts reveal The Donald is correct Current example, this tweet:Maybe the PEOTUS reads foreign newspapers like the Daily Mail, who ran this yesterday: Trump was RIGHT about Air Force One: Pentagon budget documents show Boeing program is slated to cost more than $4.2 billion The Pentagon program that will replace the pair of aging 'Air Force One' planes is already slated to cost $4.265 billion through the...

Publius Huldah. Near 30:30 minutes into her speech, Ms. Huldah posits that James Madison opposed the state convention method in Article V. She cites The Federalist #49, and a private letter from Madison to a Virginia legislator named George Lee Turberville. Rodney Dodsworth Response. Considering that Madison made provision for amendments in his Virginia Plan of Government, and his notes of the federal convention do not reflect hostility to Article V, the bar must be set high for anyone to claim that Madison opposed a state convention to propose amendments. Ms. Huldah failed to clear the bar. Those who rely...

Last year, Germany completed and turned on the Wendelstein 7-X nuclear fusion reactor. This amazing piece of technology uses a complicated design called a stellerator, and scientists have finally managed to verify that the design works like it's supposed to.

An Orange Coast College psychology instructor lamented the election of Donald Trump to her human sexuality class recently, saying “we have been assaulted, it’s an act of terrorism,” according to a video of the comments posted on YouTube earlier this week. Olga Perez Stable Cox made her comments Nov. 15, the class’s first meeting after the election Nov. 8. It was recorded by an anonymous student and then published by the president of the community college’s College Republicans, Joshua Recalde-Martinez. “The whole thing came about because the election had occurred within the last week. She began the class with this,”...

Angela Merkel is the Jim Jones of Germany and Germany is the 2016 version of Jonestown. Jim Jones was the messianic cult leader of the Peoples Temple, a communist, apocalyptic, quasi-religious cult that was born in the early 1970’s radical environment of Northern California and the Bay Area. Jones was a self-professed Marxist, a devotee of the doctrine of Ho Chi Minh, Castro and Mao. Jones’ evil charisma allowed him to gain access to political leaders of the time, such as Walter Mondale, Willy Brown and Harvey Milk. Among the radical left, Jones was considered some type of avant-garde Elmer...

Paris (AFP) - French far-right leader Marine Le Pen proposed Thursday that the children of illegal immigrants should be refused public school places as part of tough proposals to restrict state services for foreigners. "I've got nothing against foreigners but I say to them: if you come to our country, don't expect that you will be taken care of, treated (by the health system) and that your children will be educated for free," Le Pen said. "That's finished now, it's the end of playtime," she told a conference in Paris in comments that provoked a storm of condemnation from the...

Ok, we are surprising someone tomorrow with a Christmas tree. We are Jewish so pretty clueless as to how this works. Got a beautiful tree about 6 feet, best watering stand we could find, even got millions of little lights all up around it (thanks, YouTube!). But it needs something around the base. Thought I could just grab a tree skirt, but this tree has an enormous stand, diameter maybe 2.5 feet. The skirts only have a small hole for the trunk. What can we put under the tree that would fit? So many Christians here who put up trees...

Zzzzzzzzzz....... I’ll be honest. I have no idea if this thing ever gets interesting. I had it on in the background and I made it all of 15 minutes before I had to turn it off. Ethically-challenged Senator Harry Reid’s final farewell speech is a tedious, rambling, monotone diatribe that clocks in at just under an hour and a half.

Fight for 15 looks down for the count. Andy Puzder understands what almost no liberals have even the slightest clue about: Businesses exist to maximize profit. If an employee enjoys prosperity as a result of providing value to the business and being commensurately rewarded, that’s a good thing that makes everyone happy. But the purpose of the business is not to make employees rich just for the sake of it. It’s to make the shareholders rich. So when dopes take to the streets demanding a minimum wage of $15 with their mindless #FightFor15, Puzder understand exactly what that will mean....

Let's get over ourselves and admit there is only One who can hold the world in His hand Experts said Arctic sea ice would melt entirely by September 2016 - they were wrong. Texas has been cooling since 1995, but that doesn’t suit NOAA’s global warming agenda. So they keep cooling the past further and further to create the appearance of a warming trend.

Whilst Russia and America continue to fiddle - Syria and Iraq bleed and burn. The United States and Russia seem set to jointly confront their common enemy - Islamic State - once President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office on 20 January 2017. This possibility emerged after a telephone call between Trump and Vladimir Putin following Trump’s stunning presidential victory on 8 November. President Obama’s failure to co-operate with Putin for the last two years in seeking to degrade and destroy Islamic State has resulted in hundreds of thousands of needless civilian deaths and injuries and the internal and external...

Looking back, it is clear to Jim Cramer that the world changed on Election Day in 2016. "You may love the results or hate them, but one thing is for certain, just getting the darned election over with turned out to be a big deal," the "Mad Money" host said. If President-elect Donald Trump delivered on all of his pro-business promises, then many of the strong moves of the stock market could be justified, he added. "What is really dawning on people right now is exactly how frozen our economy was by this endless election and how unthawed it seems...

California's Sanctuary Cities California’s new Democrat supermajority used Monday’s usually congenial legislative swearing-in ceremonies to ram through Assembly and Senate resolutions insisting President-elect Donald Trump abandon his immigration deportation policies—at least in California. California is home to the largest illegal-alien population in the country, with 35 sanctuary cities. President-elect Trump has vowed to build a border wall and deport immigrants that have a criminal record, which he estimates to be two-three million.

The Obama administration chose this On the night of October 22nd, two Louisville KY women were on the side of the road following a minor traffic accident. Sadly, a man named Miguel Angel Villasenor-Saucedo, 40, was driving a truck that night. Hit struck, and killed, both women. He then escaped the scene on foot. Authorities are currently searching for Villasenor-Saucedo, but none of this needed to happen. That’s because they’ve had their perpetrator in custody before. As the DOJ informs us, Villasenor-Saucedo is a known illegal immigrant who has a long history of legal troubles…

When Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, the man dubbed "Trump of the East", told U.S. businesses to pack their bags if they didn't like his anti-American rhetoric, the huge and growing outsourcing industry got a little nervous. It's now the real Donald Trump who has businesses worried here, after the U.S. president-elect vowed to bring offshored jobs home from places such as the Philippines, a big provider of back-office services for corporate America. The Southeast Asian country accounts for 12.6 percent of the global market for business-process outsourcing (BPO), which has been growing 10 percent a year for the past decade,...

In the vast tsunami of leftist grief that has washed over the land in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s shocking presidential victory, no flotsam has been as prevalent as Hollywood gliterrati weeping and screaming and gnashing their teeth while donning only the most stylish and expensive sackcloth. Most recently, near-sextuagenarian Madonna lamented, “I was devastated, surprised, in shock. I haven’t really had a good night’s sleep since he has been elected. We’re f***ed.”

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) on Thursday dismissed as "offensive" the criticism that President-elect Donald Trump is considering too many retired generals for Cabinet positions. The Democratic lawmaker, who last month raised eyebrows by meeting with Trump in his New York tower, said that the veterans are more than capable of serving in high government positions and their military experience should not disqualify them from the job. "I don't share [critics'] concerns. In fact, as a veteran ... I find it pretty offensive for people to outright discriminate against veterans," Gabbard said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper. "Here you...

Brazilian President Michel Temer plans to call U.S. President-elect Donald Trump next week as Brazil looks for business opportunities that could open up if Trump follows through on campaign promises to rewrite a trade deal with Mexico. A senior Brazilian official said on Thursday that Temer would call Trump for their first conversation since the New York businessman was elected to the White House last month. Temer sent a telegram of congratulations to Trump, instead of calling him soon after his election as some other Latin American leaders did....

For all of his focus on industrial workers in the Rust Belt and his dire warnings about America's inner cities, President-elect Donald Trump hasn't had much to say about his plans for those in the deepest levels of poverty—including America's homeless. And that—along with his recent choice of Ben Carson as Housing and Urban Development secretary—is making advocates across the country worried.

The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that a Mexican national charged with a Kentucky hit-and-run was in the country illegally and had been deported a mind-boggling eight times. “Miguel Angel Villasenor-Saucedo, a Mexican national illegally present in the United States, was charged this week by grand jury indictment with Illegal Re-entry After Deportation,” the DoJ said in a press release. On October 22, two Louisville women got into a car accident, and were killed when they were struck by a truck after leaving their vehicle. Villasenor-Saucedo– who is believed to have been intoxicated at the time– then allegedly abandoned the...

Billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has made a sharp reverse, from being an attack dog for the Democrats to giving Donald Trump his full-throated endorsement. “Donald Trump is our No. 1 draft pick,” Cuban told CNBC Wednesday. Sticking with the basketball metaphor, he explained: “He’s who we put our hopes and dream with. Now it is easier because we haven’t played a game yet. No reason to rush to judgment or come to any conclusions now. Let’s see what happens starting January 21st and we’ll go from there. I hope he’s a superstar.” This is an abrupt reversal for...

From this article on 2paragraphs.com: As Donald Trump travels the country on his "Thank You" tour, appearing at large rallies, Sanders is on what seems like a shadow tour. It's interesting to consider that Sanders, proven a big draw like Trump, could occupy a sort of "Shadow President" role after a divided election that saw the Democratic candidate win the popular vote over the President-elect. From what I can tell Bernie is turning into a more couth version of Cindy Sheehan. He's going follow Trump where ever he goes to get his message out. Bernies plan is to follow Trump's initiatives...

U.S. crude oil production is not expected to rise much next year from the current levels of around 8.6 million bpd, energy mogul Harold Hamm said at the S&P Global Platts Global Energy Outlook Forum on Thursday. If the United States were to go all out with oil production, it could probably double to 20 million barrels per day, according to Hamm, but that it would be “foolish for us to do that” precisely because it would create an oversupply. Hamm called the OPEC deal that lifted prices wise on their part, but that OPEC’s previous attempt to out-stay and...

Waiting for the SS Litton51@hotmail.com I was recently cut off by a relative. He is smart, educated, a school teacher, a proud Liberal, and completely separated from reality. In the course of the run-up to the 2016 election, he cried in panic that a Trump victory would absolutely result in Trump’s rounding-up of all us Jews and throwing us into concentration camps to die. His lock-step Democrat insistence that Trump is a Nazi was immune to fact or reason. As a Boston-based school teacher (and son of a school-teacher) he had been long convinced of every Liberal lie and fantasy....

You’ve likely heard the spin lines and talking points from Obama loyalists claiming Barack Obama’s presidency netted the longest period of job growth in the last xyz years or maybe even “ever.” It’s a shame that people view things through shaded glasses and bias. In the case of this so-called “continued job growth,” we need to examine the claims and determine what has actually “grown.” At this point, we have more federal workers than ever before. More than 1.4 million people collecting government salaries according to the congressional budget. That’s a 10 percent jump from the time Obama took office....

According to Rob Leatham 6x IPSC World Champion! That's right coming from Rob Leatham. When it comes to shooting, few are at Rob Leatham's caliber so when he's got something to say about shooting, we should pay attention. Or, shouldn't we? Without questioning Rob's shooting ability, there has been debates on the different school of thoughts when it comes to "instinctive" shooting to precise shooting, or, accuracy shooting to speed shooting. As you can see the list goes on, we have written one piece when the NYPD shooting program came under fire when their officers were missing their shots in...

Sanctuary City policies encourage human trafficking of illegal aliens and whether mayors, supervisors and complicit law enforcement officers are also complicit in those crimes? Every time the issue of illegal aliens or deportation comes up, the Left, argues against something they know isn’t going to happen. But the reason the Left always brings the conversation to the line, “how are you going to round up and deport 15 million undocumented immigrants?” is not to get an answer, It is to get you to feel bad for even thinking about deporting anyone. Because they know it isn’t going to happen the...

$3 million wasted in the meantime I suppose this is what a Jill Stein presidency would have been like, except that it would have been hundreds of billions wasted on pointless exercises instead of a mere $3 million. We Michigan taxpayers should be grateful, I guess, that we only got a taste of such absurdity - however bitter the taste may have been. After several days in which state courts tussled with federal courts over whether the recount should go on, U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith finally came down on the side of the state and ruled that the recount...

Now that Democrats have sort of moved on from blaming the Electoral College and James Comey and the Russians, they’re absolutely convinced that ‘fake news’ turned the election against Hillary Clinton With the media in disarray, even in meltdown, over their failure to prevent Donald Trump from winning the presidency last month, the issue of “fake news” has become an urgent concern. What is really of greater concern? Fake websites that are established to make money and discredit their political opponents? Or is it the establishment media that are pushing a political agenda, while claiming to adhere to high standards...

Pittsburg prosecutor to go after teenager who posted video of 'the wrong color person' eating chicken, and is therefore a 'racist'.Never mind if a 'brother from another color' goes after a person of 'another wrong color', that's self-expression endorsed by the White House.This country gets the Justice System it deserves.

Stoked up fake hatred of President Elect Donald Trump is fast becoming all the rage and a lucrative cottage industry Almost everybody in the mainstream media’s doing it. Faking it, that is. Fakery came into style with one Barack Hussein Obama. As a fake president, with no pedigree of which to speak, he makes a better community activist, an American hating one that made it all the way to the top of the heap in 2008. Our world going backward is peopled by FAKES.

Wednesday, December 07, 2016 A Date That Will Live Forever in Infamy Posted by Daniel Greenfield Naval Base Bombed, Shinto Worshipers Fear Backlash - New York Times - December 8 1941 A day after planes passed over their peaceful village on the way to attack the Naval Station at Pearl Harbor, local fishermen are still picking up the pieces.

I used to go to a really good sushi buffet in the Westwood section of Los Angeles. Nearby was the "Womyn's Bookstore." I can't tell you how much of a kick I got out of seeing that place since I found their artificial attempt to avoid the name "men" in their name quite amusing. Once in a while I would see a very angry woman, I mean womyn, enter the establishment but mostly the place was empty. I doubt it is still there but that whole "womyn" shtick still amuses me to the extent I am using it in...

Remember that time Gary Johnson didn’t know what Aleppo was? Turns out he wasn’t alone.At one time Barry didn’t know Aleppo from Alpo either; presumably before they crossed that hard to identify red line: "The ability of ISIL to not just mass inside of Syria, but then to initiate major land offensives that took Mosul, for example, that was not on my intelligence radar screen," Obama told Zakaria, using the administration's term for the Islamic State terror group. – CNN Possibly this oversight was due to his habit of skipping the daily intelligence briefings. Or maybe it’s because he ignored...

Many people view Texas as an extremely gun friendly state. Texas has been becoming gun friendly, but the image has not been entirely deserved. The Texas Legislature only restored partial open carry rights last year, after banning most open carry for a hundred and thirty years after Reconstruction. Open carry still requires a permit from the state. The permit fee is $140, putting it out of the reach of many people. State Representative Jonathan Stickland wants to change that. From caller.com: “It’s time in Texas to restore our Second Amendment rights to their originally intended level,” said state Rep....

The U.S. Should Abandon the Paris Agreement and Learn from China by RUPERT DARWALL December 7, 2016 The Clean Power Plan, too, risks America’s industrial future. One of the first items of business for the Trump administration will be to decide what to do with the Paris Agreement. In September, the Obama administration deposited with the United Nations general secretary an instrument accepting the Paris climate treaty without first asking the Senate for its advice and consent. As matters stand, the United States is now bound to the Obama administration’s target of reducing economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions 26 to 28...

“The Shoot and the Root of Jesse” (Isaiah 11:1-10) Today we continue our series on “Isaiah’s Advent Prophecies.” Today’s prophecy comes from Isaiah 11, and it begins, “There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.” And then our text closes, “In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples--of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.” Notice that this one who is coming is first called “a shoot from the stump of Jesse,” and then he...

Kate Steinle was a 32 year old woman walking with her parents in an Francisco in 2015 when she was killed by an illegal alien who had been deported five times previous to the murder. Juan Lopez-Sanchez had been taken into custody by local authorities but released a month before the murder because San Francisco is a sanctuary city and the it refuses to cooperate with the Feds. The sheriff, Ross Markirimi issued a memo specifically ordering his deputies not to cooperate with ICE. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had issued a detainer request to the sheriff’s department asking...

With his Thursday journey to Indianapolis, Donald Trump made history as a president-elect by forging a deal to save over 1,000 jobs headed to Mexico. And he was just getting started. That night in Cincinnati, Trump began a “thank you” tour in front of a jubilant crowd of 15,000 people. Imagine that — any politician, let alone a president-elect, using his first appearance to thank voters instead of privately thanking donors. That’s populism for you. Surprises are routine with Trump, and his speech didn’t disappoint. For nearly 50 manic minutes, he was at turns joyous, boastful and policy specific in...

Your Holiness, You are qualified to make moral judgments, to say "how to go to heaven" rather than "how the heavens go". It seems to be the people you have allowed to insinuate themselves into your isolation, who are manipulating you into imagining you have a moral imperative, about matters beyond your competence to evaluate. It is good to say it's a 'sin' to spread fake news. It's a matter of subjective cuplpability -- your really don't know that you don't know. However, this isn't helping anyone to get to heaven.

Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said Wednesday that President-elect Donald Trump’s surprise victory on Election Day was “like a punch to the stomach” and “soul-crushing,” but that the mood inside the White House has improved since then. Jarrett, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama and a member of his administration from day one, said he and other White House officials were left somewhat shell-shocked by Trump’s win. But following the president’s lead, she and other administration have sought to follow the lead of former President George W. Bush’s team in facilitating a smooth White House transition to the...
